My friends - I am so sorry that I have abandoned you this miserable Friday the 13th. And no - I am not superstitious (big word like marmalade that one).
Indeed, I have a bad cold - possibly flu because I'm achy and tired too. Well of course, I could be tired because of the training with Rayloc yesterday. She is a sponge for knowledge you know. My mind was whirring at maximum velocity trying to keep her entertained and alert. At one stage I had to retreat and fill up the water cooler device fitted to my head (to avoid possible CPU overheating & therefore motherboard and information retrieval failure). I have realised that she is a 'kinetic learner'. She prefers to learn (like I do) with keyboard and mouse in her own hands. If not - she takes on a look much like this little owl picture I have inserted. And you thought it was a picture of a sick owl probably. Oh no - that's Rayloc after 5 minutes listening without doing!
I see she has recalled learning about hubbly bubblys, a security database so secure you can't find it and the noise associated with stories of the paranormal. The only disconcerting fact is she hasn't mentioned anything about campaign management. Still, armed with the aforesaid knowledge, I feel my job is in good hands :)
Oh look - an email from Rayloc about giving birth to a porcupine. How intriguing (??) I'd better check it. Back in a moment.
Yes - pretty cute, but reminds me of Rayloc - a kind of combination of when she's bored and angry at the same time. Comments?
So possums (and bored, angry porcupine) - what's the venue for today's exciting lunch break? The sun is trying to shine way up north here after a few spells of rain. Not sure what you are experiencing there in the southern hemisphere of Auckland?
I will probably have the usual - lemsip. And maybe a small can of tuna :)
Love you all and miss you.
The Owl
PS: What do you call an Owl with a cold? Nothing - her ears are blocked.
PS2: What does an Owl with a cold say? Atish-WHOO, Atish-WHOO
ok - pretty lame, but I'm bored.

Brilliant post Ms. Owl. Do hope you get well soon. =)
Here's another boring one.
What does an owl take when it's sick? An Owlspirin. Harharhar!
Awww! You Poow Owly... I hope I didn't suck the life juice outta you. "Kinetic Learner" - thassss somesing new. And what's a campaign management?
The venue for today is our precious lunch room, with perhaps 7-8 chairs attached to one table and just as many tuna pides. The weather here is just as usual, sun shines every 5 minutes, replaced by rain every 2 minutes and something that looks like the sun might shine , but then the rain comes again "gotcha!" every 3 minutes.
I asked Chris a question today that I asked Martyn before. He was also unable to answer it. If today is 0 degrees and you say it's cold. What if tomorrow is twice as cold? How many degrees will you have?
Any who-whoo, who-whoo... Hope you get betta oh wise owl, without you there's no wiseness (see?).
Big hugs and other things equally big
Yours darlingly,
Rayloc
Ah....tuna pides....hmmmm. Very jealous. Maybe I'll empty the can of tuna into my lemsip, add some chopped spinach and caramelised onion .... oh - and some croutons. It would be similar - and lemon is good with fish. Might be quite nice actually.
Now - your baffling (no pun intended) question about twice as cold as 0 degrees. Very simple: 0 C is 32 F, and half of this is 16 F, which is -8.9 C
Or - to get more scientific using the Kelvin scale: "twice as cold as 0 C" is half of 273.15 K, which is 136.57 K. Convert back to Celsius and it's -136.58 C
Look - either way - it's frikkin cold and I would worry more about what clothes to wear frankly!!!
Got any more questions to occupy me? And can you answer a nagging question for me? Is everything up and running this morning ;-)
Mr Glass - loved the owl joke - almost as lame as mine! One more for you:
Q: What happened to the mixed up owl?
A: It came out low
sheesh - sorry - that's exceptionally lame!
Love ya guys
Oh wise Owl! You've googled your way into clarity. It was much harder for Mr Sanchez here, as I was watchful over his googling expedition.
You think I googled the answer????? NEVER!!!
OK OK - you know me toooooooo well.
I should have just said 'very cold'.
